Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl, and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use the back of a spoon or your thumb to gently press down on the center of each dough ball to flatten slightly. This will help the cookies bake evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft (do not let them brown).
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
